This event is designed for researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone with a strong interest in the field.

  • Attend a keynote talk by Jana Gurasashvili exploring parents’ experiences of receiving “no primary finding” results from genome sequencing.
  • Explore innovative research in the field presented by early career scholars.
  • Discover valuable career perspectives from genetic counselors and emerging researchers in the field.
  • Participate in a collaborative research sprint to team up, brainstorm, and generate new project ideas.
  • Expand your network with peers, mentors, and potential collaborators

Come for the genetics, stay for the ethics—and leave with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and meaningful connections. We’d be delighted to have you join us.
